I think i know what is the problem with flashing.
I assembled the two new XTIDE kits. Both of the cards worked on first try except that i couldn't flash the other with SDP enabled.
The other card had Atmel AT28C64X instead of AT28C64B. I replaced the X EEPROM with another B EEPROM and flashing was successful. The Atmel EEPROM ending with X does not appear to support Software Data Protection.
are you serious? we got a mix of parts from mouser? I've shipped everything out now, so I can't go check what I have/had.
k2x4b524[, can you please check your atmel part numbers and post back here? I've got a serious bone to pick with mouser if they did this to us. Still better than jameco, but man, that is seriously lame. I suspect there is no way to detect via software which part is installed in the system to automaticaly know to turn on SDP or not.
uuuugh.
